Is anyone else exceedingly disturbed by all of the unnecessary noise in Modern Warfare: 2? It's clear to me that they added a lot of ambient noises to begin with but every 2 seconds or everytime I'm getting kills in the middle of a firefight I have a guitar hero power up blasting into my ear as I'm trying to listen to noises and focus on the game... It's VERY distracting, and it the announcer bothers me because I haven't heard him in ages; in world at war there was an option to turn those sounds off but keep the game sounds... In MW:2 you just have one master control which sucks. What's more is the obnoxious sounds are disproportionately loud to the game noises as is, and if you have your game sound up to default forget hearing anyone speak. I had to take the main controls down to about 50% and jack up the voice chat to 10 before I could hear well.

I'm enjoying MW:2 but every time I walk away from a game I feel like I've been ear-raped.

Note: I'm talking about the multiplayer kill noises, NOT the singleplayer which isn't so befuddled by such nonsense.
